I've created a software that as far as I know is completely original both idea and execution. The code is 100% mine as I created it from the ground up.
It is an engineering program.
I've filed for copyright. Can/should I also file for a patent?
Long time lurker here. That's why I ask here because I know many people here are very smart.

See a Patent attorney.
The state of software patent law in the US is in flux.
